Patent number: 9779191Abstract: Embodiments of an apparatus and method for assessing non-kinetic weapon performance for negating missile threats are generally described herein. In some embodiments, vulnerabilities of missile threats and techniques for negating the threats are identified. A probability of negation associated with an effectiveness of each of the techniques against the vulnerabilities is calculated. The calculated probability of negation of each technique against each vulnerability are conditioned at a plurality of times associated with a plurality of asymmetric missile defense (AMD) layer elements to produce temporal level probabilities of negation. Each temporal level probabilities of negation are conditioned based on a probability of validation of deployment and a probability of verification of mitigation to produce a battle damage assessment probability of negation.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2014Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: Paul C. Hershey, Robert E. Dehnert, Jr., John J. Williams, John N. Carbone, Jeanne M. Robinson, David J. Wisniewski

Patent number: 7179679Abstract: An process of forming multilayer thin film heterostructures is disclosed and includes applying a solution including a first water-soluble polymer from the group of polyanionic species, polycationic species and uncharged polymer species onto a substrate to form a first coating layer on the substrate, drying the first coating layer on the substrate, applying a solution including a second water-soluble polymer from the group of polyanionic species, polycationic species and uncharged polymer species onto the substrate having the first coating layer to form a second coating layer on the first coating layer wherein the second water-soluble polymer is of a different material than the first water-soluble polymer, and drying the second coating layer on the first coating layer so as to form a bilayer structure on the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2003Date of Patent: February 20, 2007Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Peter A. Chiarelli, Jeanne M. Robinson, Joanna L. Casson, Malkiat S. Johal, Hsing-Lin Wang

Patent number: 6800487Abstract: Method for monitoring the crystallization of at least one organic material from a liquid. According to the method, a liquid having at least one organic material capable of existing in at least one non-centrosymmetric phase is prepared. The liquid is interrogated with a laser beam at a chosen wavelength. As at least a portion of the at least one organic material crystallizes from the liquid, the intensity of any light scattered by the crystallized material at a wavelength equal to one-half the chosen wavelength of the interrogating laser beam is monitored. If the intensity of this scattered light, increases, then the crystals that form include at least one non-cetrosymmetric phase.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2002Date of Patent: October 5, 2004Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Blaine W. Asay, Bryan F. Henson, Robert K. Sander, Jeanne M. Robinson, Steven F. Son, Peter M. Dickson

Patent number: 6465255Abstract: The present invention includes a method for identifying and probing phase transitions in materials. A polymorphic material capable of existing in at least one non-centrosymmetric phase is interrogated with a beam of laser light at a chosen wavelength and frequency. A phase transition is induced in the material while it is interrogated. The intensity of light scattered by the material and having a wavelength equal to one half the wavelength of the interrogating laser light is detected. If the phase transition results in the production of a non-centrosymmetric phase, the intensity of this scattered light increases; if the phase transition results in the disappearance of a non-centrosymmetric phase, the intensity of this scattered light decreases.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2000Date of Patent: October 15, 2002Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Blaine W.

Patent number: 5741442Abstract: Optical limiting materials. Methanofullerenes, fulleroids and/or other fullerenes chemically altered for enhanced solubility, in liquid solution, and in solid blends with transparent glass (SiO.sub.2) gels or polymers, or semiconducting (conjugated) polymers, are shown to be useful as optical limiters (optical surge protectors). The nonlinear absorption is tunable such that the energy transmitted through such blends saturates at high input energy per pulse over a wide range of wavelengths from 400-1100 nm by selecting the host material for its absorption wavelength and ability to transfer the absorbed energy into the optical limiting composition dissolved therein. This phenomenon should be generalizable to other compositions than substituted fullerenes.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 1995Date of Patent: April 21, 1998Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Duncan W. McBranch, Benjamin R. Mattes, Aaron C. Koskelo, Alan J. Heeger, Jeanne M. Robinson, Laura B. Smilowitz, Victor I. Klimov, Myoungsik Cha, N. Serdar Sariciftci, Jan C. Hummelen

Patent number: 5420081Abstract: Synthesis of fullerene/glass composites. A direct method for preparing solid solutions of C.sub.60 in silicon dioxide (SiO.sub.2) glass matrices by means of sol-gel chemistry is described. In order to produce highly concentrated fullerene-sol-gel-composites it is necessary to increase the solubility of these "guests" in a delivery solvent which is compatible with the starter sol (receiving solvent). Sonication results in aggregate disruption by treatment with high frequency sound waves, thereby accelerating the rate of hydrolysis of the alkoxide precursor, and the solution process for the C.sub.60. Depending upon the preparative procedure, C.sub.60 dispersed within the glass matrix as microcrystalline domains, or dispersed as true molecular solutions of C.sub.60 in a solid glass matrix, is generated by the present method.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1994Date of Patent: May 30, 1995Assignee: The Regents of the University of California Office of Technology TransferInventors: Benjamin R.
